Wow, that was pretty wonderful. Having just seen the show last night, I can only imagine how this felt live.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

They're so incredible. I mean... Cynthia's voice is unreal. And Jennifer tore the roof off of the theatre. Damn.

Wow. Assume that's Cynthia Erivo who sings first? What a powerhouse voice and so much soul, so much passion in that power, too. What a beautiful tribute.

That was insane. Erivo and Hudson gave me chills. I pray these two keep coming back to Broadway again and again and again.

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

These two women not only sing with their voice but with there hearts. I hope they also come back to Broadway more and more. A album of duets would be nice too.
